but obviously, hurricane sandy took over. my instinct for this, watching it all, is that president obama gets a lot more air time as the incumbent president in a time of national disaster and he seems to have done a pretty good job. chris christie, mitt romney's right-hand buddy, has been out there today saying what a great job he's been doing. >> sure. >> that has to be good for him, doesn't it? >> well, we have to see how the cleanup goes and if obama makes a mistake later on. but i would agree usually in the short run a crisis environment tends to help the incumbent president. and the fact is we only have the short run now, so if there's fallout in the long term then it might occur after he were elected. i still think voters are mostly basing this on the economy. maybe you have 1% of voters who are out there undecided. so it's an interesting event, but look, if romney had it in the cards to win before i'm not sure it would shift things enough against him. >> and also it still comes down to swing states and in many of those

look at how destructive superstorm sandy was. this was a dock that completely demolished, that showed you how strong the wind and the waves were in this area. there was a mandatory evacuation order for this area, but clearly some residents say they wanted to ride out the storm and this homeowner stayed inside during the entire time and they say they watched the waves come up and bang into their home. they saw parts of the dock bang into their porch right here as well as a house boat basically collide, causing this trail of destruction. you can see pieces of their home on their lawn, and obviously just a trail of debris here. this is a scene a lot of residents are coming back to as they try to pick up the pieces. now if you look across the street, where the dock ended up or at least a portion of it, in somebody's driveway, you could also see an uprooted tree, downed power lines and if you look at the end of the street, that is where a houseboat ended up, and washed ashore, so clearly a very devastating scene here for a lot of resi
